Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants, which have expanded in foods and the environment. Detection of PCBs is considered essential due to recognized side-effects of PCBs on health and the public concerns in this regard. On the other hand, due to the trace levels of these organic chlorine compounds, reliable and sensitive assays must be developed. Recognition elements are essential parts of analytical detection assays and sensors of PCBs since these elements are involved in the selective identification of the analytes of interest. Understanding the fundamentals of the recognition elements of PCBs and the benefits of the sensor strategies result in the development of next-generation recognition devices. This review aimed to highlight the recent progress in the recognition elements as key parts of biosensors. We initially, focused on the developed antibody-based biosensors for the detection of PCBs, followed by discussing the aptamers as novel recognition elements. Furthermore, the recent advancement in the development of aptamer-based solid phase extractions has been evaluated. These findings could contribute to improving the design of commercial PCB-kits in the future.
